Glaziers Local 372

International Union of Painters and Allied Trades

Glaziers cut and install all types and sizes of glass, such as plate glass of all kinds and thickness, clear and heat-absorbing window glass, obscure glass, mirrors, leaded glass panels and insulating glass units. They also fabricate and install curtain walls, aluminum entrances, storefronts, skylights and revolving doors. They install all types of door hardware and fit and install plastic and porcelain panels in metal and wood frames.

Glaziers work both indoors and outdoors, depending on the job. Window fabricating and some installations are done indoors. However, glaziers do much of their work outdoors or in unheated areas. Glaziers do a great deal of standing, lifting and carrying, with some work at heights.
